I watched it and now I’m chilling
Like most European things - yes.
It’s a Christmas market drink - hot chocolate with rum in it. It’s called Lumumba - named after Patrice Lumumba, the first Prime Minister of the Congo who…was assassinated by Belgium (well, by separatists technically but the Belgians were the ones who dug him up and dissolved his body in acid & had his bones crushed and scattered) in 1961 because they wanted so desperately to hold onto their colony which had broken away from their control. The US, UK, and Belgium were all very happy about it because at the time during the Congo Crisis, after the UN refused to step in and help, he’d been appealing to the Soviets which made him a dirty communist so why not.
Eisenhower hated him, Dulles was all for assassination, MI6 supposedly had a hand in facilitating his execution. And yet still in 2024, a scant 4 years after Belgium finally repatriated what they had left of his remains & possessions back to his family in the Congo, Germans still go to Christmas market and ask for a lumumba and go when you point out that they’re basically celebrating colonialism in their own little way.
Many such cases across Europe and Belgium/Germany especially. Mohrenkopf and Negerkuss ARE NOT racist names for chocolate covered marshmallows, yes that means “Moor’s Head” and “Negro’s Kiss” but they’re NOT racist names; stop trying to destroy tradition by getting them renamed!!!
Millions being denied healthcare and dying of preventable causes: I sleep
One capitalist pig who made his fortune on the backs of sick people getting capped: when will the barbarism end?!?
Murdering people looks like a surefire way, see France and the guillotine. No more billionaires there any more. A country of balance.
You suggest just letting em be instead? Don’t bother the rich because it’s pointless?
Then don’t comment on problems you don’t have to deal with. Our insurance industry is misery incarnate.
Humanity’s problems are everyone’s problems. Are you perhaps against free speech as well?
